January 1970 Motor Trend Plymouth Superbird Coffee Mug: “The Toucan & The Road Runner”
Pour your garage fuel into a legendary piece of automotive journalism history!
Go back to the exact month the world changed forever. This premium ceramic coffee mug features a wrap-around layout capturing most of the original, historic text and road-test data from the iconic January 1970 issue of Motor Trend magazine. Written just as Chrysler unleashed its wild, high-wing homologation specials onto public streets, this design isn’t just a graphic—it’s a time capsule you can read with every morning sip.
- The Infamous “Toucan” Quote:
The text on this mug preserves the famous, unfiltered review where Motor Trend’s original road-test editors hilariously noted that the radical Superbird looked exactly like the result of “crossing a Toucan with a Road Runner!” - The High-Speed Aero Secrets Discovered:
Read straight off the ceramic canvas as journalists break down the wind-tunnel secrets of the massive 23.5-inch high rear stabilizer wing, the nose extension, and the aerodynamic stabilizers engineered by Mopar legends Gary Romberg and George Wallace to crack 220 MPH. - The Battle of the Big Blocks (426 Hemi & 440+6):
The print calls back to the extreme powertrain performance tests, detailing the brute strength of the street-eating 440 Six-Barrel (Six-Pack) and the ultimate NASCAR track weapon—the legendary 426 Hemi V8.
